About the Podcast
Everyone has a story worth sharing, and we are trying to share as many of them as we can.

Host Dave Fiore talks with Tallahassee business owners, leaders and innovators about the journey that led them to where they are today.
Launched in 2019, How I Got Here was created from the simple idea that by sharing our stories, we can learn more about each other – and ourselves.
So Dave started interviewing a series of interesting, diverse people to build a catalog of stories that would speak to people in the community in different ways and hopefully provide a spark of encouragement and inspiration.
It became quickly apparent that once we got the ball rolling, guests were willing to delve into their pasts with an honesty that made them admittedly vulnerable. And they were OK with that because they wanted the conversation to mean something. Some revealed dramatic circumstances they endured and survived, while others have accomplished great feats that don’t usually come up in casual conversation.
Dave has been humbled by their willingness to share details of their life that do not increase their social status or highlight only the good angles of their life like a carefully posed Instagram photo. They are instead honest, transparent and meaningful.
And for that we are grateful.
